Audition your clothes in the months before the cruise.wear each item for a day. How does it feel, look, any pulling, any rips, anything about it that isn’t perfect, it fails the audition. Once you have reduced your selection to about 20 tops that work, pick two colours. Black and beige, pink and black, blue and yellow. Whatever appeals to you. Eliminate all the tops that don’t have those colours. You should be down to about 6. Pick 2 pairs of pants that work with everything. One to wear on the plane, one packed. Add yoga pants, very useful. Add one sweater for air conditioning. One bra on, one packed. 3 pairs undies, washing in the cabin sink every night. Eliminate formal dress. Reduce shoes to one pair that is waterproof and one that is comfortable casual. Wear the heavier ones on the plane. I travel on 40 day cruises with carry-on luggage only. Nobody cares what you look like. Nobody notices you are wearing the same stuff every day. You only have to convince yourself you can do without all that stuff. Everyone I share this info with says oh, no, I couldn’t possibly…..
